Description
Warranty
Structural modifications and incorrect installation which are not in accordance
with these and our other instructions can result in serious injuries, e.g., crushing of limbs. Therefore, structural modifications may only be carried out with
our prior approval and strictly in accordance with our instructions, particularly
the information contained in these Assembly and Operating Instructions.
Any further processing of the products which does not comply with their intended use is not permitted.
The end product manufacturer and fitter have to ensure that all the relevant
current statutory, official and, in particular, EMC regulations are adhered to
during utilisation of our products, especially with regard to end product manufacture, installation and customer advice.
Safety instructions
General information
• Please keep the instruction manual safe!
• Only use in dry rooms.
• Keep children away from control units.
• Observe all pertinent country-specific regulations.

Page 5
• Dispose of exhausted batteries properly. Only replace batteries with the
identical type (see Technical data).
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.
Caution
• Device contains small parts that can be swallowed.
Attention
• Ensure that the batteries supply sufficient power to guar-
antee frost protection.
Intended use
The heating actuator described by the present instructions must only be used
for individual room control by means of radiator or underfloor heating in closed
rooms. Only use a CentralControl or a compatible KNX media coupler to control the heating actuator.
• Please note that radio-controlled systems may not be used in areas with
a high risk of interference (e.g., hospitals, airports).
• The remote control is intended solely for use with equipment and sys-
tems in which malfunctions in the hand-held transmitter or receiver
would not pose any risk to persons, animals or property, or which contain
safety devices to eliminate such risks.
• The operator is not protected from interference from other telecommu-
nications systems and terminal equipment (e.g., even from radio-controlled systems which are properly operated in the same frequency
range).
• Only connect radio receivers to devices and systems approved by the
manufacturer.
• Radio-controlled systems transmitting on the same fre-
quency may cause reception interference.
• Note that the range of the radio signal is limited by legis-
lation as well as by design.

standby state, or if "OPEN" appears, press the "+" or "-" button until the
message "LINK" appears on the display. The control unit is now in the
program standby state for 15 minutes. For subsequent actions, please
refer to the corresponding operating instructions for the device to be
programmed.
4. After linking successfully, the message "OK" appears on the display,
then changes to "OPEN".
5. Now place the heating actuator on the valve and firmly tighten the
knurled nut.
6. Now press the "+" and "-" buttons for 5 seconds to allow the heating actuator to re-adapt to the radiator valve. "ADJ" appears on the display.

Waking up the device
To wake up the device, press the "+" or "-" button until the display switches on
automatically. The current mode appears on the display and changes to the
setpoint temperature, or COLD or WINDOW if active.
Disassembly
1. To wake up the device, press the "+" or "-" button until the display
switches on automatically.
2. Press the "+" and "-" buttons simultaneously until the message "LINK"
appears on the display for the program standby state. When the "+" or "-"
button is pressed again, the message "OPEN" appears on the display for
the installation standby state. Wait until the installation run is complete.
3. Now undo the knurled nut and pull the heating actuator off the adapter/
valve.
Cancelling the installation standby state
Press the buttons "+" and "-" for 5 seconds.

Page 13
AUTO/MANUAL changeover
The heating plan transferred by the CentralControl is executed in "AUTO" mode. The heating plan transferred by the
CentralControl is not executed and displayed in "MANUAL"
mode.
To wake up the device, press the "+" or "-" button until the display switches on
automatically.
Press the "+" button until the changeover has been implemented on the display.
Manual operation
To wake up the device, press the "+" or "-" button until the display switches on
automatically.
You can increase or reduce the temperature manually (in 0.5°C increments respectively) using the "+" or "–" button.
Tap the "+" or "-" button twice to change the setpoint temperature directly
(schedule-independent) to the Comfort or Eco temperature.
To change the mode from "AUTO" to "MANU" or from "MANU" to "AUTO", tap
the "+" button for longer.
If "AUTO" flashes in the display, the temperature has been changed manually.
This setting is only applied until the next switching time and then reverts to the
preset value.

Establishing the program/clear standby
state
1. To wake up the device, press the "+" or "-" button until the display
switches on automatically.
2. Press the "+" and "-" buttons simultaneously until the message "LINK"
appears on the display for the program standby state. When the "+" or "-"
button is pressed again, the message "UN-LINK" appears on the display
for the clear standby state.
3. The control unit is now in the program/clear standby state for 3 minutes.
For subsequent actions, please refer to the corresponding operating instructions for the device to be programmed.
For information on configuring the heating actuator using the CentralControl,
refer to our homepage:
https://www.becker-antriebe.de/produktuebersicht/hausautomatisierungcentralcontrol.html
Cancelling the program/clear standby state
Press the "+" and "-" buttons for 5 seconds.
If the heating actuator is at the limit of the radio range, detach the heating actuator and put it into the program/clear
standby state within close range of the CentralControl. You
should then test the heating actuator locally using the CentralControl to make sure it is working.
There may be a delay of up to 90 seconds before the settings
from the CentralControl arrive at the heating actuator.
Window function
If you open a window and the temperature drops significantly as a result, the
heating actuator closes the valve for 10 minutes to save energy. The message
"WINDOW" appears on the display. You cannot make any settings during this
time.
You can cancel the window function by pressing the "+" button for two
seconds.

Page 15
Limescale protection function
To prevent calcification of the radiator valves, the heating actuator always runs
the limescale protection function on Saturdays at 12 o'clock.
Frost protection function
If the temperature falls below 4°C, the heating actuator opens the valve until a
temperature of 4°C is maintained. This prevents freezing of the heating appliance.
Switching battery economy mode on/off
To wake up the device, press the "+" or "-" button until the display switches on
automatically.
Switching on
Press the "-" button until the message "COLD" appears on the display.
Switching off
Press the "-" button until the temperature is indicated on the display.
On-site operation disabled
You can only disable and re-enable the heating actuator via the control unit.
For the setting, please refer to the operating instructions for the operator unit.
If on-site operation is disabled, this is indicated by the symbol in the display.
This can only be enabled automatically if the operator unit has not communicated with the heating actuator for at least 1 hour.

You can access "INFO" mode as follows:
1. To wake up the device, press the "+" or "-" button until the display
switches on automatically.
2. Press the "+" and "-" buttons simultaneously until the message "LINK"
appears on the display for the program standby state.
3. Press the "+" or "-" button until the message "INFO" appears on the display.
The "INFO" mode can be cancelled by changing to a different mode by briefly
pressing the "+" or "-" button. If no button is pressed, the device attempts to
re-adapt itself after 3 minutes and then reverts to the operating status.
Restoring to factory settings
Before resetting the device to factory settings, you must
clear it in all operator units.
1. Remove all batteries (see chapter Changing batteries [}17]) and reinsert them shortly afterwards, then wait until the message "LINK" or
"OPEN" appears on the display.
2. Press and hold the "+" and "-" buttons simultaneously until the message
"ADJ" appears on the display. The heating actuator adapts itself and
changes to normal mode.
3. Press and hold the "+" and "-" buttons simultaneously until the message
"OPEN" or "LINK" appears on the display and the control unit has counted down from 10 to 0.
4. "----" now appears on the display.
